I am looking for the meaning of the Greek Key Symbol. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

The reason is that I have been looking for my Fiancé a wedding band and this is a symbol I have come across a few times on some of the rings and I want to know what it means befroe I settle with it. I am looking for something special and meaningful. Something Unique, If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know. I only have 1 month till the wedding, and I still can't decide.:)

Do you mean 'Greek Key' like this!

Meander (art) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"...an ornamental pattern consisting of repeated vertical and horizonal lines (often in relief); "there was a simple fret at the top of the walls"

YES!
What does it mean?

From a quick search I don't see that it has a specific meaning other than "...an ornamental pattern " Soory and I'll let you know if I foind more info later.

Greek Nationalism apparently!

That's what I found too! I also found it being a symbol for eternity or forever, that's why I am asking. I need a clear meaning.

I only know that meander wasn't used only in greek nations but also through various places on earth. It is one of the rare decorative that u can find all over the world.

Okay I just got back from Greece last week and I bought a Greek Key bracelet from a local shop in Rhodes. She told me that it symbolizes eternal life. That it represents (either historically or mythologically) some river.
So I went out and googled the river story when I got home and found Meandros, or Meander. Representing the flow of life; eternal life, eternal love, eternal friendship.

That's the answer that I was looking for THANKS A MILLION!

I hope you did settle with the greek key. Katevn is right it means eternal life, eternal love and eternal friendship. It is also called Meander or Greek fret meaning twisting and turning. It is named after the River Meander, now called Buyuk Menderes River, in south Western Turkey. The river is mentioned in the Lliad, by Homer.

May God bless your marriage always.
